A host of loyal Newcastle United fans fear they have been conned out of cash for away tickets following allegations of fraud on Facebook.

Several supporters on the Facebook page Toon Away Days say they paid the face value of £30 and upwards for tickets for the upcoming Premier League clash at Manchester United on November 18.

After failing to deliver the tickets in person at the recent Burnley and Bournemouth matches as arranged, the seller is now accused of dodging calls and messages as well as refusing to pay fans their money back.

ChronicleLive has contacted the seller, who has denied any claims of wrongdoing.
